APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING TWO-TONEID GLAZED PAPER Filed March 26, 1928 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 Inventor Patented Sept. 16, 1939 PATENT orFicE EDWARD W. HAGUE, OF SSE-ANTON, PENNSYLVANIA 'AIPARATUS FOR PRODUCING TWO-TONE!) GLAZED PAPER Application filed March 26, 1928.

The present invention relates to manufacture of paper, and more particularly to aperused for wrapping or other purposes wherein a glazed or glossy finish is desired and has 5 for its object to produce a two-toned paper of this character, one color of which constitutes the foundation or background of the paper whereas the other color or tone is used to produce'the name, trade-mark or other identifying means for identifying 'ith the particular goods contained in the package with a particular producer, manufacturer or distributor of the goods. A further object of the invention. is to produce a paper of this character in which the two toned finish is provided by a single, simple and practical mechanical operation. Other objects and advantages reside in the special construction, combination and arrangement of the various 20 elements forming the invention as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the apparatus employed for carrying out my invention, with parts broken away and shown in section illustrating the manner in which the paper web is treated with the different solutions in the tank provided for the machine,

Figure 2 is a top plan view,

Figure 3 is a sectional view through the belt drive means and drive pulleys for the pressure roll,

Figure 4 is an end elevational vie v, and

Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view showing one of the pressure rolls in elevation.

The apparatus employed by me in carrying out the invention comprises a supporting frame 5 having a pair of solution tanks 6 and 7 mounted at the upper portion thereof and disclosed at opposite ends of the tame, the tank 6 being of a considerably increased area than the tank 7 and extending longitudi nally of the frame throughout the greater portion of the length thereof. The upper portion of the frame is provided with a pair produce the desired color and it will be Serial No. 264,395.

of spaced parallel longitudinally extending side frame members 8 within each of which is journalcd the ends 9 of an impression roller 10, said roller extending transversely of the frame adjacent the end thereof provided with the tank 6 and is arranged with its lower edge immersed in the solution of said tank. The impression roller 10 may be either of the engraved or embossed type and suitable for creating a relatively shallow impression in the texture of one surface of a strip of webbing as the same passes over said roller. Adjacent the end of the frame 5 provided with the impression roller 10 is arranged a supporting bracket 11 upon which is rotatably supported a roll 12 of paper 13 in web form and adapted to be fed over guide rollers l l at the upper edge of the same and over the impression roller 10. A guide roller 15 is also arranged at the side of the impression roller 10 opposite from the guide rollers 14, the rollers 14 and'15 cooperating to produce a suitable tension upon the web to enable the impression from the impression roller to be produced in the surface of the paper as the same passes thereover. The solution contained in the tank 6 is formed from blanclixe aluminum sulphate, blanc-fire soda ash together with a suitable amount of dye to J apparent that as this solution is ap ilied to he under surface of the web by the impress on roller 10 that the outline of the name, tradcmark or other matter engraved or embossed on the impression roller will be placed on the paper as the same passes thereover.

From the impression roller 10 the paper passes between a pair of pressure rollers 16, also over a feed roller 17 and between a second pair of pressure rollers 18, one of each of said pressure rollers 16 and 18 as well as the feed roller 17 having a portion thereof inirotation in adjustable bearing brackets 21 I provided with springs 22 normally urging the rollers 19 and 20 in contact with each other.

The paper web isv fed between the rollers 19 and 20 and it will be apparent that as the a same passes therebetween any surplus solu tion w llbe forced from the web.

ated through an electric motor 23 by means of a chain and sprocket drive connection provided between one of the rollers and the I motor, as indicated at 24, the lowermost of each of said pressure rollers being rotatably j supported upon a shaft 25 extending outwardly from the frame and the end of which is mounted-a pulley wheel 26 connected for operation with each other by meansv ot a' drive belt 27. From the pressure roller 18 the web 13 is fed overa feed roller 28 partly submerged inthe solution contained in the tank 7 and from which the paper is fed about 7 a guide roller 29 and upwardly to a drying rack 30 The solution contained in the tank 7 is preferably formed of casein, Wax and sodium carbonate, dissolved in-water in predetern'iined' proportions which constitutes a" transparent dye protecting and finishing coating placed upon the surface of theweba bing subjectedto the dye solution by the feed roller 28, this coating forming the base for producingthe glazed finish on the paper,

and which glazedfinish is created in any suitable and Well known'manner' by feeding the paper through a suitable glazing machine after the same leaves the drying'rack 30. It will be apparent from the-foregoing descripsuch forms of a V i I claim asne'w is: The pressure rollers 1.6;and 18 are oper- V fed thereover whereby to initially receive'a in construction without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope ofthe appended claim, and I'accordingly claim all titled.

Having thus: described my 7 A paper finishing machine comprising a the device to which I am eninvention, what I supporting frame. having a pair :of tanks mounted thereon adapted to separately contain a dye and a transparent dye protecting and finishing solution, respectively,- the latter being suitable for creating a glazed finish upon. the paper when subjected to a suitable polishing or glazing process, an engraved impression roller and a smooth feed roller partially submerged in the dye solution with the-former disposed in advanceot the latter, a pressure roller arranged forwardly and rearwardly'of the smooth roller, and a feedroller partly submerged in *said, dyeprotectmg and finishing solution tank, each of said V rollers being adapted toflhave a paperweb V coating of dye on a portion "of one'surface from said engraved roller and subsequently to receive a coatingof dye on the entire surface from said smooth roller and afcoating of the dye protecting and finishing solution from said roller assoc iated with'saidilastfi named tank.

' race tion that by first feeding the webover the f impression rolls which is also arrangedto coat the surface'of the paper with the dye solution, it will be apparent that the-engraved or embossed surface of the impression roll will cause the name, trade-mark or other-mat ter or design shown on theimpression rolls to be either printed or engraved on the web in a lighter or darker shade from the body of the paper, as the casemay be, depending upon the particular type of impression rolls, after which the entire surfaceot the paper is coated with the dye solution by means of the feed roller 17. By reason of'the impression first made in the web by the impression r roller 10, the coating of dye applied to the paper by the roller 17 willappear heavyqand light on the respective parts of the paper and two-toned color in the paper and in the dye coatingor finishing-solution, the character of such solution being well known in the art. It obvious thatsmy invention is susceptible to various changes andmodifications s. U! a
